Find out who is affected by the deportation decisions, the reasons for the deportations, and whether this poses a threat to other Ukrainian citizens
The Donald Trump administration is considering the possibility of large-scale deportation of Ukrainian citizens from the United States. This was reported by The Washington Post, noting that some Ukrainians have already been warned about the risk of deportation on military flights to Ukraine or Poland.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Olga Stefanishyna confirmed that the decisions concern citizens who have violated US law.
First groups of Ukrainians are being prepared for deportation from the United States
According to documents from the US Department of Justice, the US authorities are planning to deport a group of Ukrainian citizens in the near future. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing special military flights to transport Ukrainians to Poland or directly to Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian embassy, this concerns about 80 people who have received final court decisions on expulsion.
Position of the Ukrainian Embassy
Ambassador Stefanyishyna emphasized that deportation is a standard legal procedure that applies to all foreigners who violate the terms of their stay in the United States. A significant portion of these decisions were made for violations committed before the start of the full-scale war.
